Rounding numbers to 2 digits after comma


I have no idea how to do this? I'm adding comma numbers, result is of course always a number with way too many digits after the comma. anyone?


Solution

  • EDIT 2:

    Use the Number object's toFixed method like this:

    var num = Number(0.005) // The Number() only visualizes the type and is not needed
    var roundedString = num.toFixed(2);
    var rounded = Number(roundedString); // toFixed() returns a string (often suitable for printing already)
    

    It rounds 42.0054321 to 42.01

    It rounds 0.005 to 0.01

    It rounds -0.005 to -0.01 (So the absolute value increases on rounding at .5 border)
